ABOUT
The story behind the style.
STYLE NO. 3104 : POSTMAN OXFORD
Inspired by the 101, the 3104 is an oxford crafted with Olive Mohave leather and an Atlas tred polyurethane outsole for a classic, yet modern look.
THE HISTORY BEHIND THE STYLE
Designed to meet Postal Service requirements, the 101 is sturdy, sleek and simplistic and these characteristics served America’s mailmen well. First introduced in 1954, Red Wing expands on this style with the more casual variations. Built using the same leather upper as the 101 including a dog tail, blind eyelets and a Goodyear Welt. The cushion crepe outsole gives these boots as much comfort as the 101, allowing for the longer walks, as a postman would.
MATERIALS
How it's made.
ROUGHOUT LEATHER
Roughout leather is created using a reverse-suede technique at our very own S.B. Foot Tanning Co. While most tanneries split, thin and weaken the hide to create the rough suede surface, we simply use the other side of the hide. By doing so, we avoid splitting or thinning our full-grain hides. This makes our Roughout leather just as strong and durable as our other leathers.

SIZING & BREAK IN
What to expect.
STYLE NO. 3104 : POSTMAN OXFORD
A new pair of Red Wing Heritage boots should fit comfortably tight on your foot, with enough room to freely wiggle your toes. Over time the roughout leather upper, genuine leather insole and cork filler mold to your feet, creating an enduring and customized fit over time with each wear.
THE 3104 IS BUILT USING THE NO. 210 LAST:
- Was designed for increased flexibility and lighter duty work
- Fits true to size
- Should be sized up ½ if used with a footbed or orthotic
